6 Education to our young has to be reflective of how to maintain balance and harmony with our natural world. artist Basma Kavanagh artwork: Eskasoni Elementary School Children

7 We must, through example, inspire our students to be critical in their thinking.

8 Seeds germinate when the environment is appropriate. The Greatest Challenge What is SUCCESS?

9 Knowledge is not a tool but rather it is a spirit. It transforms the holder. It also reminds us that we have responsibilities to the spirit of that knowledge. We must pass it on. artist Basma Kavanagh

10 This is living knowledge. Principle for Humility is based on Lnu k knowledge that has been evolving for the past 10,000 years. Mi kmawey Debert Hiking Trail Signage

11 It is not enough to go through life with one perspective; we must embrace all the tools we have...

12 Our language teaches us that everything alive is both physical and spiritual. The onus is on the person to look at our natural world with two perspectives. Modern science sees objects, but our language teaches us to see subjects. artist Basma Kavanagh

13 Consciousness of Knowing especially our inter-dependence on each other and on Mother Earth artist Basma Kavanagh All people must learn Two-Eyed Seeing so that knowledge of the physical is not separated from wisdom of the spiritual.

14 Through utilization of the Gifts from Creator we can become whole. We can take care of our needs: living, dwelling, physical, and spiritual. Education is critical because we have been disconnected from the natural world so the lessons need to be transferred to the young so they too can address conservation and culture.

15 As Elders in Our Time We seek to be a conduit for wisdom of our Ancestors. We seek to see with Two- Eyes to take the accomplishments of the white man s ways further by blending it with the wisdom of our Ancestors.

A blueprint of goals and objectives is critical to effective operation. There are many critical junctures expected to be faced in First Nation educational initiatives... The process of planning must also involve each community looking at its goals, objectives, governance, and resources. Mi kmaw Kina matnewey is available to assist communities by holding information sessions or facilitating planning sessions. This year Molly Den Heyer and a group of MBA students have been retained to be facilitators for the communities. This process will provide facilitation and feedback mechanisms to help the communities and MK to develop/update their five year strategic plans and develop new updated operational plans. These mechanisms include: planning and facilitation of meetings; advisement with regard to program management; and involvement with the written reports. The project is designed so that the content is driven by MK and member communities. Second, the process helps to build long-term capacity within MK. and its member communities. Lastly this joint planning session develops a communal relationship among MK member communities in addressing issues in Mi kmaw Education.
